FOR HEDGES AND WIND BREAKS 
MANY ARE partial to Evergreens for hedge planting. They are 
satisfactory in certain locations, but for the city planting 
do not give the satisfaction of the deciduous plants; we recommend 
such varieties as Norway Spruce (Picea Excelsa), White Spruce 
(Picea Alba), American Arbor V'itae (Thuya Occidentalis). 
THE STtTOY OF prevailing climatic conditions, the deterioration 
of rainfall and consequent sterility of once fertile farm lands 
throughout the middle west have pointed to one remedy — reforest- 
ation. Germany sets us the example by the establishment of 
Governmental arbors throughout her forests where seedlings are 
grown to replenish fallen timber. In this country reforestation 
has been entrusted to the farmers themselves in the belief that 
self-interest would promote prompt and efficient action. l'"or this 
purpose we have established, at our 
Nurseries, large arbors modeled on the 
German plan, where we grow from 
seed, millions of Evergreen and forest 
tree seedlings that may be obtained 
by the planter at merely nominal ex- 
pense. Below are a few of the more 
obvious advantages resulting from 
this planting. 
I'irst — ^They beautify your farm, in- 
creasing its value and selling-price ten 
fold. 
Second — They fertilize your soil, con- 
serving moisture by holding snow and 
rain among the roots. 
Third — Planted as windbreaks, they 
afford protection for stock from winter 
" inds and summer storms. 
Fourth — General reforestation means 
the saving of the farm lands. 
Fifth — A grove of White Spruce or 
'jiher pine, planted now, in twenty 
years will yield a heavy return in 
marketable timber. 
THE FARMER or gardener may gain 
any one or all of these advantages 
for himself by planting MAY'S Ever- 
greens. _ All Evergreens should be 
planted in the Spring of the year.
